My 2019 tax return is still being processed. I filed and it was accepted on April 05, 2020 and I did not file for the 2018 tax. I haven't received my stimulus check yet. How can I get the stimulus check now?

As I described above, I filed the 2019 tax return and it was accepted. My issue is, I could not check my stimulus check status, it is saying "payment not available". I did not file for the 2018 tax. What can I do now to get the stimulus check?

According to the IRS FAQs, the Get My Payment application will return "Payment Status Not Available" for several reasons, including:

  • You are required to file a tax return, but:
    • We haven't finished processing your 2019 return.
    • The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on. adding more data to allow more people to use it.
  • You don't usually file a return, and:
    • You used Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here but we haven’t processed your entry yet.
    • You receive an SSA or RRB Form 1099 or SSI or VA benefits; information has not been loaded onto our systems yet for people who don’t normally file a tax return.
  • You’re not eligible for a payment (see Eligibility).

We update Get My Payment data once per day, overnight, so there is no need to check more often. If you are eligible for a payment and have provided your information either through a recent tax return or the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here application, please check back for updates.

Anything yet? I did non-filers on the 5th too on TT and mine STILL shows processing. This is so frustrating! Next time I'm just going through the IRS site.
